Billy Gordon..Qld MP
Wow, things sure happen fast in Queensland.
How on earth was this man ever pre-selected to stand at the election?
He obviously did not disclose his criminal past which he should have done.
I understand that he has not resigned (and may not). What a mess for the incoming government.
At least the Premier has done the right thing in expelling him from the party.

I mentioned the 12 months in relation to holding the position as an MP during tenure. Same with a bankrupt. Not sure how past indescretions might legally stop a person from being elected but maybe go against being endorsed. I have seen no mention of Gordon doing any time.
As an aside Abby. I saw where the man who was found guilty of misreporting ABC childcare finances ( 2 billion owing/collapse ) got a slap on the wrist. Eddie the former boss of ABC got off a while ago. Both living the good life with spouses having ownership of assets or whatever to avoid repercussions for malfeasance. It beggars belief.
